Health Grade

What’s behind Monroeville’s grade

On seven CDC estimates for adults, Monroeville is healthier than 52% of U.S. towns. Obesity holds the grade up (fewer adults with obesity than 69% of U.S. towns); mental distress pulls it down (better than 28%).

U.S. towns with similar incomes, $48K–$81K (9,843)Healthier than 73%

Health estimates follow income closely across the country: towns with higher household incomes usually score higher (a correlation of 0.77 across 21,157 graded towns). Monroeville’s median household income is $64,563; among the 9,843 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($48K–$81K), it’s healthier than 73%, more than its income alone would suggest.

A rough placement. CDC’s likely ranges are wide here: with every estimate at one end or the other, Monroeville could be anywhere from C− to A−. The letter shows with “≈”.
